Description

A beautiful reddish-orange lager with a nice foamy white head. Perfectly balanced with a complex and spicy hop character that is delicately offset by sweet malts, so that both flavors shine through but neither dominates the other.

History

This Märzen-style lager is the traditional beer of Munich’s Oktoberfest. Literally translated it means “March Beer” and the name stems from the time before refrigeration when the last batch of the spring was brewed in March and then stored (or lagered) in Alpine cellars throughout the warm Bavarian summer. It was then brought back out and served during Oktoberfest and the rest of the fall harvest celebrations.
